Hey guys! I've been taking a break from manip art and focusing on drawings and such - something that is completely new to me, which explains why I haven't uploaded something in pretty much forever. But I haven't fallen off the face of the planet! In fact, I write this blog to ask for your help. Again. I figured after so many of you helped with The Savage Grace contest (which I won! Wooohoo!) that I'd try my luck here once more.

If you haven't heard of Threadless, it's an online store that features art submitted by pretty much anyone. They have t-shirts, hoodies, iPhone cases, pillows, blankets, childrens clothes, totes, pretty much anything. And the designs are always GORGEOUS and hilarious and clever. The only thing is that to have your design be featured on those items, you have to get through scoring first. I'm assuming a decent score for them to consider your design is about a 3 so that's what I'm aiming for. So I NEED YOUR HELP!!

If you have a Threadless account (or if you'd like to be awesome and make one - it's totally free!) please click this -> [link] and give my silly little design (I thought it was cute!) a 5. While you're there, check out some of the awesome stuff they have for sale! I spend waaaaay too much money there.

Thanks so much, guys! Hopefully I'll be back to book related manip posters soon! :D

Hey! I just saw your mock book covers through a friend and I just want to say that they are really really beautiful and amazing! I must ask, how to you make them? And where do you get your pictures and stuff? I'm also a aspiring book cover designer (and author) so I am curious.

Hi! Thank you so much! I make them on Paint Shop Pro 8 (it's SUCH an outdated version but I taught myself everything on it so I'm used to it) It's hard to explain how I make them. I started designing when I was thirteen and I just played around with techniques on my program and Googled tutorials and stuff.

I get the pictures from stock image sites. The two I use most frequently are sxc.hu and deviantART. (Just go to Resources & Stock Images on the front page)

I hope this helped. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask! :)

Hey! That's really cool! I use mostly free photo editing services like Pixlr but my school has photoshop, so I've been using that.


And thank you so much! It has been helpful!

Hello, I am a writer and I was wondering if you would be willing to try making me a book cover. I have no way to pay you, this is just a random challenge from a random stranger. Please let me know if you wish to accept.
